There is only one objection that can be made to it, Damely:—That the street is not now wide enough for its immense traffic; that width which used to appear mot | only sufficiently ample, but even almost excessive, when wmiore modest structures formed the street of Broadway, Shas now apparently diminished when such lofty and ca- spacious buildings form the line of boundary. poasible, we should like to see Broadway twice its pre- sent width, which would then scarely be in proportion with the buildings that adorn it; but as such an increase of width is now impossible, we must take Broadway as it is, and notwithstanding any little imperfections, still maintain it to be the finest street we know of. however, as it is at present, is of recent date; although ‘but two or three wooden buildings now remaia among its line of, in many cases, unparallelled buildings, yet it is in ‘the remembrance of more than the “ oldest inhabitant’’ wham Broadway consisted mainly of shanties. These lave, however, long been pulled down, as well as many Of their successors, to make way for modern improve- ments, aud the only wooden buildings now remaining, are one nearly opposite Rector street, another at the corner of Pearl street, opposite the City Hospit#l, and one or two others, nearly at the top of Broadway. When we say near the top of Broad way, we mean near Onion square, for, in our humble opinion, the eogaomen ¢f Broadway has no righs to exteod any further. Giving that appellation to what was formerly called tha Bloom- ingdale Road, wo look upon 4s a downright impertinence. According te our acceptation Broadway begins at the Battery aod terminates at Union square, all further ex- tensions of its length we look upon with disbelief, as only shams. Beginning at the Battery, we shall give, seria. | tim, an ecoount of what fresh improvements are going forward or been just completed. At Nos. and 37 two new stores, with brown stone fronts, are in course of erection. Each of them will ba even stories high, and bave a width of 31 fet one inch, by 191 feet deep.

On the up-town side of the Trinity Church burying ground, at the corner of Thimes street, a very large Duilding ba: been erected by the Trinity Chursh crpora- ‘tion, extencing in depth from Broadway to Trinity placa in the rear, about 204 feet, but with # disoropordonate ‘width, which is oaly about 47 feet. This disproportion tukes off from the appearance of the bnilding, wl ‘Thowever, spart from this, has no p sure! beauty, being merely a plain brick building, without ‘the dighient at.eapt at ornament.

The report runs from the twenty-fifth day of May last, to the first of January of ‘the present year.

A mnch larger proportion of patients might have been cured if a proper building were provided, so that they conld remaio under the immediate care of the surgeons.

Now. the crime of murder is defined to be, in brief terms, the killing of a human being by another with deliberate malice. The malice may be express or implied. Express malice may be shown by acts or by words—euch as wayluying for the deceased, or providing himself pre- viously with deadly weapcas, or by previous threats of violence. Implied malice is where the act of Somicide is coa.mitted upon a sudden occasion, wader circumstances of such cruelty as to indicate a wicked, depraved and | malignant spirit, as where the punishment inflisted by the prisoner, even upon provocation, is outrageous in its | nature aud eon‘ipuance, and beyond ali proportion to the Offence. no that the act is attributable rather tw diaboli- | cal malignity and brutality than to human indrmity. In | this cae there was some provocation received by the pri- soner from the cecensed aboat 2 o'clock P.M of the day, | avd, from the natare of it, if the resentment had imme- distely followed, and the blow given, it would untoubted- ly bave afforded the act to the infirmity of human nature than under the existing clroumstances. “Theie was time for the passions to cool and for reason to assume its control, avd the prisorer was bound to disciplice his temper, and sub- dve bis passions during the interval I¢ bo datermined to barber resentment, gud to seize the first favorable op- port:nity to avenge will not permit him, after the lapse of « sificient inter- val to set up excited passions from the previous provo- cation in mitigation of the act. In case between two or three hours elapsed after the provecation, aud be- fore the mortal blow was givea—a icient time for the ‘sions to and for party it with delibera- tion ard ion =And unless are circumstances attencing the giving of the mortal blow to mitigate the homicide, there will be great difficulty in that view ef the care. The question whether the act shall be regarded as murder or manslaughter will degend very much upon the view take of the manner in which the blow was given. Now, if the prisoosr had, at the time the de- ceased went from the galley to the fore part of the ship, seized a pistol or musket and shot him, it would very diffieul to reduce the crime below the degree of murder. So, if he had seized an axe, an iron bar, or any endly weapon is meant an in- strument of a character that the useof it, or a blow from it, like that given in the case, would naturally result in | the death of the victim. This is what the law regards as a deadly weapon, the use of which, unless upon » sudden and strong provocation, affords evidence of malice suffi- cient to make the killing murder. It is material, there- fore, for you to examine particularly the facts and circum- stances attending the blow. the natureand extent of the wound, and violence of the blow, with the view of ascertaining whether or not there was & purpose at the time to kill the deceased, or w it affords evidence of such a cepraved and wicked mind as to imply malice. An unlucky blow, givea by a small instrument, not likely to kill, does sometimes result in the death of the party A bemicide under such circumstances would not be murder, but manslaugh- ter. The jury will therefore took at the tong feo at the wound, ‘te extent, and the violence of tho blow, id determine whether there was ap intent to kill, or whether death Was a result outside of the intention, and accidental. The jury, ina few minutes. brought in a verdict of not guilty of murder, but guflty of manslaughter. Sentence deferred. THE ALLEGED MURDERS ON BOARD THE SHIP ROSCIUS. May 26.—In the case ef Capt.

For the proper working of this :nine, I would recom- mend the immediate erection of » sterm engine for drain- ing it of water: awd to it may bs attached a crusher, for the crushing of the ore of which I have no doubt, in sinking the shafts, driving the levels, and stoping ‘tha backs, there will be an sbundant supply.
